QMedia and RTMP Sources

[erikherz]

I am looking for a sample project that displays video from a RTMP Stream.
This project works for a local MP4 but not from a valid RTMP source:

my .pro file:

QT       += core gui widgets multimedia multimediawidgets
TARGET = testApp
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += main.cpp

My main.cpp file:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QVideoWidget>
#include <QMediaPlayer>
#include <QMediaPlaylist>

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{

    QApplication testApp(argc, argv);
    QMainWindow w;
    QVideoWidget videoWidget(&w);
    w.setCentralWidget(&videoWidget);
    QMediaPlayer *player = new QMediaPlayer(&w);
    QMediaPlaylist *playlist = new QMediaPlaylist;

    // - THIS WORKS:
    playlist->addMedia(QUrl( QUrl::fromLocalFile("/Users/erik/Desktop/vivoh/movies/jamie.mp4") ));

    // - THIS DOES NOT (URL DOES WORK IN VLC)
    //playlist->addMedia(QUrl("rtmp://10.0.0.214/live/stream"));

    playlist->setCurrentIndex(1);
    player->setPlaylist(playlist);
    player->setVideoOutput(&videoWidget);
    w.show();
    player->play();

    return testApp.exec();
}

Hi,

What version of Qt are you using ?
On what OS ?

[erikherz]

5.14 on MacOS.

[SGaist]

That is the information about Qt Creator, not the version of Qt you are using to build your application.

[erikherz]

Qt/5.14.1/clang_64

Ok, my bad, I mixed rtmp with another protocol. It seems that AVFoundation does not support it. You might want to use VLC and its Qt integration. It provides a wider range of supported codec and protocols than native APIs.

Roger that. Thank you!
